    Parts Cleaner/ Method???

    I will try the pressure washer as I have one, but some of the parts have a build-up of hardened gunk. No amount of water is going to remove that. Thanks for the pressure washer idea.

    Parts Cleaner/ Method???

    I have dis-assembled my steering componets and need to really get them cleaned. Has anyone had any luck with a certain type of parts cleaner or a method/ process? I believe they will need to soak for a while or even overnight. I have scraped off as much as I could. Thanks for the help

    Paint Colors

    I thought that too, two and a half years ago. Now im closer to paint (just a few more rust spots) and I have changed my mind yet again. Was originally going with a 2007 Tungeston Grey and dark charcoal stripes. But after having the paint card on hand and not the car for that period of time...

    Front Coil Springs Install Help

    Finally got them on, took a spring compressor rental - upside down so the stud went through the shock tower slot. then I had to loosen it one quarter turn at a time with a open end wrench since I could not get a socket in there. Took a bit of time.

    Paint Colors

    Not sure if anyone else out there has the headache of picking a paint color like me, and not sure what color you want. Sure its easy to walk into a dealer and you only have 6 colors to pick from on newer models, but when you go to paint your Mustang and every color is available - it can be...

    Front Coil Springs Install Help

    Internal may compress it enough, but how do I get the shock in there to secure it once I let off the compressor? There is no engine in, and the spindles and wheels are not on. Should I put those on to "add weight" to seat the springs, then put the shock in last? Thanks.

    Front Coil Springs Install Help

    Ok, I need some help on getting my front coil springs in my 67 installed. I went with a grab-a-track front end and finally am putting the parts all on. (I wasnt the one who removed the old parts). Went and rented the external spring compressors and didnt seem to matter where I placed the...

    c6 leaking BAD?

    Since you didnt say where it was leaking from, I will go out on a limb here and throw out what comes to mind. First check to make sure the 17 pan bolts are there. If so they may have been over-tightened and caused your pan to flex. Or not tightened at all. (should be 10-14 ftlbs torque if...

    Interior Sealant?

    Can you guys post or send some pics of the smoothed over wiper cowls? Im curious as to how it will look when its done. I did have sub frame connectors welded on already, that and some media blasting is about all the last body shop did in 2.5 years while I was constantly deployed. I got the...

    Interior Sealant?

    I actually cut the wiper cowl vents out. The previous owner had the covers for them, but there was still water damage. I dont plan on having heat/ AC in the car when its done so my plan is to weld in panels and smooth over the cowl area. I only intend to drive the car in the spring, summer...

    Interior Sealant?

    Yeah, rattle can for the better part of a day. Its on my trailer in the garage, so I think the sealer/ primer will hold till its ready to be done professionally. I decided to take an auto-craft class that starts in early October and runs till mid January. Hoping to teach myself rust repair...

    Interior Sealant?

    Engine Bay Primer Well, I appreciate all the advice, I didnt have time to order the sealant (SPI Epoxy) as the metal was already bare. So I went with some primer/sealer from the local auto parts store. It turned out pretty good as the surface was "prepped" when it was hit by the sand at the...

    Front Suspension Mounting Hardware

    Purchased a Grab-a-Track front and rear suspension kit for my 67. The last shop that I had it at put the rear on, but not the front. The kit did not come with any mounting hardware for upper/lower control arms to the body/frame. The suspension is with me, the car is 100 miles away at a media...

    Interior Sealant?

    My 67 just went through a media blaster down to bare metal on the interior, trunk, engine bay areas. I wanted to lay down a DIY paint or sealer that I dont have to worry too much about it bubbling/ cracking over the years and retaining moisture under the carpet. I thought about a truck bed...

    Front Pick Up Tube-n-Screen???

    My 302 came out of a 86 Lincoln, with a rear sump pan, but my 67 that its going in is a front sump pan. What year/ make/ model can I give the guy at the auto parts shop for a front sump screen and pick up tube that will work? Thanks.

    What size stall?

    Thanks for the help everyone. I will have to double check the gears, I have had them for a while when I was doing a 69 and 92 mustang project at the same time. Will update pictures when I can, only 20 days left in this not so nice country.

    What size stall?

    Well the C4 is stock (if that helps, probably not) :shrug: and I dont know much more than that about it. I would not mind a manual, but have not really researched it enough to know what would be good (TKO, T56 ect... for a daily driver, and so that my wife cant drive it either!) The pumpkin is...

    Oil Pan and Fuel Injection

    Ok this is a two fold question. 1. I have a 302 block out of a 86 Lincoln going into my 67 coupe upon return from Iraq. Honelstly I cannot remember, but do I need a front sump or rear sump oil pan? (manual steering) 2. Has anyone out there done a carb to fuel injection conversion where...
